The 105 names below are men that never returned home from war. Some are mentioned on the Kippax War Memorial, others on memorials in surrounding villages and some further afield.
On the anniversary of the passing of each of these 105 men, Kippax & District Branch pay our respects to them individually by marking that anniversary on our Facebook page and, where possible, include a little information on each one.
Please feel free to honour our brave local heros at our Facebook page at
